Great unbiased "reporting". This was no attack. A raid I can live with, but no attack. There is no difference between what Isreali did than what the Coast Guard, DEA etc do when "attacking" drug ships coming into America. The "unarmed civilians" on the ship attacked the troops with metal pipes, knives, fists, etc. Only after sustaining injuries did the the troops use lethal force. How about reporting properly.

Duh! The Palestinian civilians in the Gaza strip are not the same as Hamas.

Although I invested 33 years, and my own blood, in the service of my country so that everyone has a right to free speech, I still believe that Killowan is a complete idiot! To say that the Israeli blockade justifies atrocities like the holocaust is stupidity of the highest order! My brothers-in-arms are serving in various places world wide to contain the same type of Muslim extremism that drives Hamas, so I support the Israeli blockade unequivically!

When you deliberately run a blockade, when you do not ask the country with the blockade to inspect your vessels, you are asking for trouble, not avoiding it. The UN set up Israel, let the UN settle out the problems it created. If Ireland set up a blockade, how would the gov't feel if Israel deliberately tried to cross the line. Would be hollering very loudly. Stay home and quit stiring the pot. Ireland has it own unresolved problems to work on first.

Maybe he should also tell his citizens that they should cooperate with Israel's attempts to ensure their safety. That could be done by allowing the Israelies to inspect the cargo before sending it on to the Palestinians. I'm not an Israel sympathizer or hater but do find these tactics to be those used by thugs and terrorists.

Fury of short duration - given the control of our
"Reporters to a higher Authority" tribe who provided
us with our god Jesus. The suffering of the Palestinians
is overlooked while Satan's tribe pours forth with whatever
confusing propaganda that they hope will stick - this over a world media they largely own - how can it be otherwise with Kihuna shivvering big time in the corner. Germany I
now fully understand why you folks went beserk.
